Walker pointed out in the Balsillie news release that Baum, who is presiding over the Coyotes' case in Phoenix, previously stated that: "Absent some showing by the NHL that there have been material changes in [Balsillie's] circumstances since 2006, it appears to the court that the NHL cannot object or withhold its consent to [Balsillie's company] PSE becoming the controlling owner of the Phoenix Coyotes."

What are you talking about. Balsillie was approved by the NHL in 2006 when he bid on the Penguins and the court considered this still in effect. The later vote by the NHL had no legal standing. Bettman had the opportunity and was even encouraged by the judge, to negotiate with Balsillie at that time. He didn't take it and now we have this continuing soap opera and money pit.
